Section 1Introduction

The GFPS-9 is a notification appliance circuit and auxiliary power expander that provides up to 9 amps of filtered, 24 volt power for powering notification appliances and auxiliary devices. The GFPS-9 provides its own AC power connection, battery charging circuit, and battery connections. Used with security and fire alarm control panels, the GFPS-9 enables you to connect and distribute power to many more devices than your panel may normally allow.

• Input ConfigurationsThe GFPS-9 has two optically isolated signaling inputs that provide the signal connection from the main control panel to the GFPS-9 (see Section 3.2 for more details).

• Output ConfigurationsThe GFPS-9 has four power-limited notification appliance circuits that can be configured in various combinations of Class A and Class B circuits (see Section 3.3 for details).

• Auxiliary Power ConfigurationsThe GFPS-9 has a dedicated, power-limited, auxiliary output that can be configured in two different ways. The auxiliary output can either be non-resettable (always on), or configured to switch off during the AC power failure to conserve the battery standby power. When the auxiliary power is configured to switch off, there is a 30 second delay before the auxiliary power is turned off after the AC power fails (see Section 4.8.4 for details).

• Form C Trouble RelayThe GFPS-9 includes a general trouble relay that will de-energize for any trouble situation. (see Section 4.4.1 for details).

• Earth Fault DetectionThe GFPS-9 monitors for earth faults to the system power or system ground. When detected, the system de-energizes the trouble relay and the input supervision relays (see Section 5.2 for details).

• ANSI Temporal CodeThe GFPS-9 provides two configuration options that will drive outputs with the ANSI temporal code if the inputs are on constantly (see Section 4.8.1 for details).

• Supports Synchronized appliancesThe GFPS-9 provides configuration options that will eliminate the need for synchronized modules when using AMSECO, Faraday, Gentex, System Sensor, or Wheelock synchronization appliances.

Section 2UL Requirements

When installed in accordance with NFPA 70 and NFPA 72 standards, the GFPS-9 can be connected to UL Listed devices.

The GFPS-9 is also listed to meet UL Standard 864 and power limiting requirements.

The GFPS-9 is compatible with any UL listed control unit utilizing reverse polarity supervised notification appliance circuits, using 24 VDC regulated outputs.

3.2 Signal Input Terminals

Terminals 14 through 19 are polarized signal input terminals. They provide the signaling connection from the main panel to the GFPS-9. See Figure 4-2 for more details.

The main panel supervises its notification appliance circuits used for communicating with the GFPS-9 the same way it supervises ordinary notification appliance circuits. The signal inputs on the GFPS-9 monitor the polarity of the voltage coming from the main panel’s notification appliance circuits to determine when to operate the notification appliance circuits on the GFPS-9. The GFPS-9 emulates the trouble behavior of a normal notification appliance circuit by interrupting the EOL supervision current for internal or output trouble conditions on the GFPS-9.

Note that the GFPS-9 will accurately sense the polarity of the main panel’s notification appliance circuits to drive the outputs whether or not the supervision connection is intact. The following situations will disconnect the EOL supervision at the signal inputs and indicate a trouble condition:

• Low AC power• Low Battery condition• Earth ground fault to the system power or system ground• Auxiliary output power-limited condition• EOL supervision trouble or power-limited condition at an output

Trouble conditions will not necessarily occur for both inputs when the trouble is specific to a particular output. Only the signal input controlling the output circuit that is in trouble will indicate a trouble condition. Below are examples where both inputs do NOT indicate trouble for a trouble occurring at only one output circuit.

Note: Once the inputs are driven with forward polarity to activate the outputs, the main control panel will not be able to sense trouble conditions through its notification appliance circuit connected to the GFPS-9 input circuits. Use the GFPS-9 trouble relay when it is necessary to monitor trouble conditions and active alarm conditions at the same time.

Section 6 explains the significance of each trouble condition in more detail.

Example 1: If input 1 controls all four outputs, a fault on any output will cause input 1 to indicate trouble. The fault does not affect input 2.

Example 2: If input 1 controls outputs 1 and 2, and input 2 controls outputs 3 and 4, a fault condition on output 3 or 4 will cause input 2 to indicate trouble. The fault does not affect input 1.

System Overview

9001-0024 5

3.3 Notification Appliance Circuit Terminals

Terminals 3 through 10 are the notification appliance circuit output terminals. Each of the four circuits are rated at 3 amps, although you can only draw a total of 9 amps from the GFPS-9. The GFPS-9 outputs are short-circuit protected (power limited) according to UL 864 standards. Overcurrent indicators are yellow LEDs. The output voltage can vary depending on the load and input voltage.

The four power-limited NAC outputs can be configured as follows:

• Four Class B circuits • Faraday synchronized outputs• Two Class A circuits • Gentex synchronized outputs• One Class A and two Class B circuits • System Sensor synchronized outputs• Class B, ANSI temporal-coded circuits • Wheelock synchronization outputs

• AMSECO synchronized outputs

One or both GFPS-9 signal inputs control the NAC outputs, depending on the specific configuration setup. Possible configurations for the GFPS-9 are:

You can select which input controls which output, and which inputs are Class A and Class B using the 7-position DIP switch on the printed circuit board. Section 4.8 for DIP switch settings.

Section 4Installation

Before installing the GFPS-9, the AC input must first be wired into the building’s main electrical power through the TB1 terminals (see Figure 4-2). Shut off the electrical power to the GFPS-9, and then complete the general installation of the GFPS-9 using the information in this section.

4.1 Mounting

Mount the GFPS-9 in locations that meet the following temperature and humidity requirements. Do not expose the panel to conditions outside these ranges. For use in indoor, dry environments.

When mounting on interior walls, use appropriate screw anchors in plaster. When mounting on concrete, especially when moisture is expected, first attach a piece of 3/4-inch plywood to the concrete surface. Attach the GFPS-9 to the plywood.

4.1.1 Preventing Water DamageWater damage to the fire system can be caused by moisture entering the cabinet through the conduits. Conduits that are installed to enter the top of the cabinet are most likely to cause water problems. Installers should take reasonable precautions to prevent water from entering the cabinet. Water damage is not covered under warranty.

Humidity 10%-93% at 30o C (86o F) noncondensing

Installation

9001-0024 7

4.2 Wire Routing

To avoid induced noise (transfer of electrical energy from one wire to another), keep input wiring isolated from high current output and power-limited wiring. Induced noise can interfere with telephone communication or even cause false alarms. Avoid pulling a single multiconductor cable for the entire system. Instead, separate high current input/output from low current. Separate power-limited from non-power-limited wiring. Non-power-limited wiring must be enclosed in conduit.

Wiring within the cabinet should be routed around the perimeter of the cabinet. It should not cross the printed circuit board where it could induce noise into the sensitive microelectronics or pick up unwanted RF noise from the switching power supply circuit.

Figure 4-1 Sample Wire Routing

Note: The use of this knock out will reduce the number and/or size of batteries this cabinet can contain. Evaluation of space is important before using.

4.3 Current Requirements (Standby and Alarm)

4.3.1 Current Drawn From Host Panel Table 4-1 shows the GFPS-9 current draw requirements from the main control panel when the panel’s notification appliance circuit is in alarm. The current draw from the main panel when it is supervising the GFPS-9 is the same current draw that would be present when the main panel supervises an ordinary notification appliance circuit.

4.3.2 Current Drawn from BatteryBatteries used with the GFPS-9 must not exceed 35 AH. Batteries larger than 7 AH will not fit into the GFPS-9 cabinet and must be housed in the BC-1 Battery Cabinet. See Section 4.7 for battery installation.

The following is the maximum current draw from the auxiliary power terminals for standby calculations. These currents assume 24 or 60 hours of standby time, followed by 5 minutes of maximum alarm current.

• 195 mA for 24 Hour Standby Current• 39 mA for 60 Hours of Auxiliary Standby Current

The above numbers were calculated assuming the use of 7 AH batteries at 100% of rated capacity.

The total current of the GFPS-9, plus all items powered from it, must not exceed 9 A when the panel is in alarm. Use Table 4-2 to ensure that the current does not exceed 9 A and, that the desired amount of standby is possible for the battery intended for use with the GFPS-9.

4.4 Connecting the GFPS-9 to a Control Panel

Figure 4-2 shows the general layout of the GFPS-9 PC board. This section also provides specific wiring details for accessories.

Figure 4-2 The Model GFPS-9 PC Board Layout

Consult the installation manual for specific wiring information for the control panel being used.

Installation

9001-0024 11

4.4.1 Common Trouble Relay The GFPS-9 has a Form C trouble relay built into Terminals 11-13. The relay provides a normally open and a normally closed contact, both of which are rated at 2.5A. The trouble relay will deactivate under any trouble condition.

A typical application of the trouble relay is to connect the GFPS-9 normally closed (N.C.) contacts in series with the EOL supplied with the fire alarm control panel. This will cause a trouble on the fire alarm control panel when the GFPS-9 opens its trouble contacts.

Note: The N.C. contact is the contact that is closed when the GFPS-9 has power and there are no trouble condi-tions.

Figure 4-3 Trouble Relay Connection Example

4.5 Notification Appliance Wiring

Note: Not all devices can use the sync feature. Be sure to check Appendix A to ensure the device you have chosen will work with this feature.

4.5.1 Class A Supervised WiringFigure 4-4 shows how to wire for Class A input and output supervision. Use in/out wiring methods for proper supervision. (Refer to Appendix A for notification appliances compatible with the GFPS-9.)

Class A Output Notification CircuitsThe configuration shown in Figure 4-4 shows two, 3 A devices wired as Class A. When using the outputs as Class A circuits, loop the wiring back to the corresponding circuit pair. For Class A wiring, no external EOL is necessary since it is built into the GFPS-9 board.

Must be connected toa power limited source


12 9001-0024

Class A Supervised Input CircuitsThe configuration shown in Figure 4-4 shows Class A supervised wiring from a fire alarm control panel to the GFPS-9 board. Pay close attention to the polarities when wiring a panel to the GFPS-9 and follow these requirements:

• When wiring to Terminal 18 on the GFPS-9, you must use two separate wires. Do not loop a single wire or twist two conductors together.

• Do not use notification appliances on Class A circuits connected to a GFPS-9 for input. The GFPS-9 will detect voltage across the input circuits, but is not designed to pass the added current load from notification appliances.

Figure 4-4 Class A Supervised Input/Output Connections

4.5.2 Class B Supervised WiringFigure 4-5 shows how to wire for Class B input and output supervision. Use in/out wiring methods for proper supervision (Refer to the Appendix for notification appliances approved for use with the GFPS-9.)

Class B Output Notification CircuitsFigure 4-5 shows four, 1.5 A devices wired as Class B.

Place a 4.7k ohm EOL resistor (provided) at the end of each circuit to enable supervision when using all outputs as Class B notification appliance circuits. The 4.7k EOLs must be wired to the terminals whether or not you are using all output terminals.

Installation

9001-0024 13

Class B Supervised Input CircuitsFigure 4-5 shows Class B supervised wiring from a fire alarm control panel to the GFPS-9.

Use an EOL resistor as shown to enable notification appliance circuit input supervision. Some panels use EOLs that have a different value from the 4.7k ohm EOL resistor used by the GFPS-9. In this case, the EOL must be UL listed for the fire alarm control panel (not the GFPS-9).

Figure 4-5 Class B Supervised Input/Output Connections

4.6 Ground Fault Detection Enable/Disable Jumper

In some cases the ground fault detection feature on the GFPS-9 may interfere with the ground fault detection feature of the main control panel in the system. To disable the ground fault detection feature on the GFPS-9, place the jumper block on J1, across Pins 1 and 2 (see Figure 4-2).


14 9001-0024

4.7 Battery Connection

Use two 12 VDC, 7 AH gel cell batteries inside the GFPS-9 cabinet. For batteries larger than 7 AH (not to exceed 35 AH) use the BC-1 Battery Cabinet. It is recommended that you replace the batteries every five years. The following steps and diagram explain how to connect the batteries.

1. Connect the black wire from the Battery – terminal to the negative (–) side of Battery #2.2. Connect the jumper wire provided (PN 140694) from the positive (+) side of Battery #2 to

the negative side of Battery #1.3. Connect the red wire from the Battery + terminal to the positive (+) side of battery #1.

4.8 DIP Switch Settings

A 7-position DIP switch on the GFPS-9 board allows you to select the following:

• How long the GFPS-9 will wait before indicating a loss of AC.• Which input (Input 1 or Input 2) will control the NACs.• Which NACs to wire as Class A and Class B.• Auxiliary power state.• Which NACs to operate as steady, ANSI temporal, or sync. outputs

Refer to Figure 4-2 for the location of the DIP switch on the GFPS-9 board.

4.8.1 Selecting the Standard Input/Output ConfigurationsFigure 4-7 and Figure 4-8 show the position of each switch for the non-synchronized input and output configurations. The position of Switches 4 and 5 does not affect the relationship of inputs to outputs.

Note: The GFPS-9 checks switches 1, 2, 3, and 6 only when powering up the GFPS-9. If you change these switch settings, you must remove both the AC power and the battery to make the GFPS-9 recognize the new settings.

4.8.1.1 Input/Output Configurations That Select ANSI Temporal-Coded Outputs

The DIP switch settings marked with an asterisk (*) in Figure 4-7 and Figure 4-8 are designed to produce ANSI temporal-coded outputs from a constant input. The figures shown below compare the output patterns of configurations before and after the addition of this feature.

With this new feature, a steady signal can produce the pattern shown above for panels not previously able to do so.Note: The GFPS-9 can also produce temporal patterns if the inputs are non-ANSI temporal configurations.

4.8.2 Selecting Synchronized Output ConfigurationsThe following sections describe how to configure the GFPS-9 as a synchronization power expander for Amseco, Faraday, Gentex, System Sensor, or Wheelock synchronized horn/strobe appliances.

Note: In order for the synchronization feature to operate properly, make sure you have set the DIP switches for the proper manufacturer. See Sections 4.8.2.1, 4.8.2.2, or 4.8.2.3.

4.8.2.1 Selecting Synchronized Faraday ConfigurationsTo select the input/outputs for Faraday synchronized appliances, set the DIP switches as shown in Figure 4-9.

Figure 4-9 Faraday Synchronized Configurations

4.8.2.2 Selecting Synchronized Gentex ConfigurationsTo select the input/outputs for Gentex synchronized appliances, set the DIP switches as shown in Figure 4-10.

Figure 4-10 Gentex Synchronized Configurations

Important!For all synchronization options, input 1 is the strobe input and input 2 is the audible input. The signals to input 1 and input 2 must be DC signals for the synchronization patterns to work properly. When it is desired to activate both strobes and audibles, input 1 and input 2 must be active. If it is desired to only activate strobes, then input 1 must be active and input 2 must be inactive. The audible can be deactivated and reactivated at any time by changing the signal at input 2 as long as input 1 remains active. If input 1 is not active, then input 2 is ignored.

5.3 Door Holder Application

In a typical door holder application, the door holder power must be interrupted to close all fire doors under the following conditions:

• Any active alarm condition.• AC power failure (to conserve battery power).

To close the fire doors in these situations, wire an N.C. programmable relay from the FACP in series with the auxiliary power to the door holders as shown in Figure 5-7.

The circuit shown in Figure 5-7 will provide up to 3 amps of door holder power. (See Section 5.2 if you need more than 3 amps of auxiliary power.) The power in this example is released when AC power is off for 30 seconds or more, or when the relay from the fire alarm control panel becomes open. You would have to use the equivalent of a programmable relay from a fire alarm control panel that is programmed to open under alarm conditions. See Section 4.8.4 for selecting auxiliary power options.

Troubleshooting

9001-0024 25

Section 6Troubleshooting

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) indicate fault conditions. This section describes the LED states.

6.1 LEDs

The eight LEDs indicate a fault in one of the circuits (either NACs 1 through 4, auxiliary power, earth fault, low AC, or battery). A fault in the LED's corresponding circuit will light the LED (labeled on the board). Their functions are as follows:

See Figure 4-2 for locations of LEDs.

LED Color Description

OUT1 Yellow When ON, output circuit 1 is in trouble or in an overcurrent state.




AUX Yellow When ON, the auxiliary power output is in an overcurrent state.

FLT Yellow When ON, an earth ground fault on the unit exists.

BATT Yellow When ON, a low battery condition exists.

AC Green When OFF, there is no AC power to the unit. Under normal conditions, this LED is ON to indicate the presence of AC power.


26 9001-0024

6.2 Trouble Conditions

Note: While Input 1 & 2 are activated, Input 1 & 2 will not open to indicate a trouble or supervisory condition. Once the circuit is deactivated it will open to indicate a trouble or supervisory condition.

Trouble Condition What Happens

Low AC

(AC input voltage is low or off for 6 hours or longer.)

Input 1 and Input 2 supervision circuits open after a 6 hour delay.

The green AC LED turns off as soon as low AC or loss of AC occurs (does not wait 6 hours).

The trouble relay is de-energized after a 6 hour delay.

The trouble restores within 1 minute of the AC voltage restoring to a normal level.

Low Battery

(Battery voltage is less than 21.4 VDC.)

Input 1 and Input 2 supervision circuits open. The yellow “BATT” LED lights.

The trouble relay is de-energized.

The trouble restores when battery voltage is greater than 22.4 VDC.

Earth Ground Fault

(The earth terminal is connected to one of the positive or negative terminals on the output or auxiliary output circuits.)

Input 1 and Input 2 supervision circuits open. The yellow “FLT” LED lights.


The trouble restores when the fault between the earth ground and one of the output circuit terminals is removed.

Power Limit At AUX

(Current draw at the auxiliary power terminals is exceeding 3.0 amps.)

Power disconnects at the AUX terminal. Input 1 and Input 2 supervision circuits open. The yellow “AUX” LED lights. The trouble relay is de-energized.

The trouble restores when the overcurrent condition no longer exists. When a circuit goes into a power limited state, it will reverse the polarity of the voltage at the terminals and verify the load. If it is more than 1k ohms, the power limit will self-restore.

This does not automatically occur for some devices typically connected to auxiliary power. Power limit conditions do not restore in reverse polarity monitoring if the devices are not polarized (for example, some door holder devices). To allow automatic restores for power-limited auxiliary circuits, it is recommended that all non-polarized devices be polarized using a diode in series with each device.

Power-limited OUTPUT

(Current draw at an output terminal is exceeding 3.0 amps.)

Power at the OUTPUT is disconnected. Input 1 and Input 2 supervision circuits open. The corresponding yellow LED lights. The trouble relay is de-energized.

The trouble restores when the overcurrent condition no longer exists.

EOL supervision trouble

(Equivalent resistance of the EOL resistor is outside the range 2k - 10k.)

Input 1 and Input 2 supervision circuits open. Corresponding yellow LED lights.


Trouble restores if an EOL within (2k-10k) appears at the output terminals.

6.4 Removing and Replacing the Control Panel

This section provides instruction on how to remove and replace the control panel if it is determined that the control panel needs to be repaired or replaced.

6.4.1 Removing the Control PanelFollow these step to properly remove the control panel:

1. Remove the two heat sink screws. The heat sink screws are located on the top of the cabinet. See Figure 6-1.

Figure 6-1 Mounting Screw Locations

2. Remove the four chassis mounting screws. See Figure 6-1 for chassis screw locations.3. Carefully remove the control panel.

6.4.2 Replacing the Control PanelFollow these steps to replace the control panel:Note: Use a grounding strap when working with static sensitive components.

1. Align the control panel with the chassis mounting stand-offs. See Figure 6-1.

2. Insert the four chassis mounting screws (see Figure 6-1). Do not over tighten the chassis mounting screws.

3. Insert the two heat sink screws (see Figure 6-1). Do not over tighten the heat sink screws.Note: The heat sink screws must be installed for proper heat dispersion of the power module’s power supply.

Appendix AUL Listed Notification Appliances

For proper operation, you must use polarized devices with a Model 7628 4.7k ohm EOL resistor on each circuit. All supervised notification appliances used with the GFPS-9 must be polarized.

Note: Not all devices can use the Sync feature, be sure to check Table A-1 to ensure the device you have chosen will work with this feature. Synchronization is UL listed for multi-circuit operation.

A.1 Notification Appliances

Table A-1 below lists notification appliances compatible with the GFPS-9. Appliances which can be synchronized indicate the type of sync available in the columns marked Audio and/or Visual.
